Ok guys/gals. I started the process of contacting Rota about some wheels for our cars. They said they will do it, and I could order a set. Also, it seems the more wheels ordered, the cheaper the price will be. I will contact their USA rep. for more information on pricing/quantity. Rota wheels are the best bang for the buck in the lightweight wheels department. Subaru forums pretty much swear by these wheels. They also make 17x8" wheels for people who want some seriuosly sticky rubber and weight reduction in the future like myself.

Lets get a running number of those interested, so I can have an idea of a rough quantity.

Here's their website to check out the styles:

That is cool. Some one willing to do something.

I like the VXR and the Battle. But I don't think that I will be doing any rims too soon.

 

I like the rangers....

 

battle, competition, slip stream, sub zero, zodiac spoke....those tickle my fancy

 

I like the GT-3 lol... jk I like the G-Force and GR-A but not in that color

 

oh **** son, I want rotas! So they will do them for sure? Can they be ordered now?

 

rotas are ok. maybe the best company for quality knock offs. i've heard lots of horror stories about them but not sure if they are true.

 

Is there any info on how much each design weighs roughly?

 

I would make sure the actual wheels you are getting are lightweight. Alot of Rotas in 15" and 16" form are light but when dealing with anything bigger they're alot heavier. My 17x7.5" Rota Slipstream weigh in at 20lbs while the 16" version are something like 15lbs and the 15" wheels at 11lbs. Still not bad but I don't see many weight savings beyond 16"

 

i'm down for the D2's but only if they can do 18's for $1000

 

I like the circuit 8s, boost, and the Tarmac. The Tarmac would look awesome on my black SS/SC.

 

Im down, been looking for a lightweight 18 that looks good forever. My top three styles
1. SDR
2. Pulse
3. Battle

Keep us posted.

 

I would like the "Torque" in black...17x8...depending on cost

 

Wow, keep this list going so I have a huge number of people to show the desire. I'm in for some 17x8" D2's, Sub Zero's, or Torque's in gunmetal or black.

 

I can see why you guys want 17's but I can't put something on smaller than stock unless i was using DR's

Smaller looks like crap IMO

 

Exactly how "lightweight" are they? I'd go for some light weight 17s if the price was right, just for a set of auto-x tires.

 

Im in for 18" Burnouts if the price is right and they actually "lightweight"

 

I want 17" Sub Zeros! ASAP. As soon as they make them I'm getting them. Black or Gold cant decide.

 

Put me in for a set of Flat Black Subzero's in 18x7.5 if they will fit our stock tires or if not I am sure I can find some better tires to put on these babys. I think the flatblack would go with my black and blue scheme. Plus the stock wheels get too dirty too soon.

 

agreed

 

18" journey's would be nice.

 

Vortex and WM-7 would look great with my yellow coupe...Ahh, but I'm f'in poor!

 

The deal is $650 for a set of wheels shipped!!!!!!

Here's my email traffic on this one:

Kim,
Thank you. I currently have a request on the cobaltss.net for therir interest in these wheels. They will most likely want pricing information before stating their definate desire for these wheels. I will responded back as soon as they give me feedback. Thank you once again.

Billy

you can order a set... better if you cobalt owners would get together and order at the same time so its easier to produce... please contact our Office in the USA for to your convenience... you can get the applicable pricing and course your orders through them.

Best Regards,

Message: I would like to know if it would be possible to order a set of wheels drilled with the 5x110 bolt pattern my car has. I\'d like to have some 17x8\" lightweight wheels for my car, and it seems that hardly any companies are interested in making them. I\'d be interested in the D2, Boost, Torque, or Subzero\'s. I\'m not to fond of my heavy factory 18\" wheels needless to say. Most of the owners on the cobaltss.net would probably be interested as well if you need to attain a certain amount of orders in that bolt pattern to do it. Thank you for your time.

Hi Billy,
If you can get more people interested, I can order for you.
Kim

 

Wheelspecs.com will give you guys some wheels weights.

Example: 17x7 Rota Subzeros are 16.5 lbs

 

Subzeros are pretty coo, would they consider making an 18???
